I must say, I'm enjoying Wallace so far.
He should be great. It's notable that he's the first moderator from Fox, and he was chosen for his experience and traits, not as to represent the network.

dam i read ender's game and the surrounding books back in middle/early highschool, funtimes tbh.
didn't know the author was still making stuff, might wanna check that out.
how are the formic war books? and what order are u supposed to read them.
First Formic War trilogy (Earth Unaware, Earth Afire, Earth Awakens), and then the Second Formic War trilogy (The Swarm is the only book out currently). They have a lot more action and are easier to read, philosophically and intellectually, than Ender's Game and its sequels.

Doesn't look much like Contact. More like The Day the Earth Stood Still or Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Critical response is overwhelmingly good so far; I'm excited to see it in a couple weeks.

Is there any RTS game where each side has an equal amount of soldiers and vehicles and have to eliminate all the soldiers in the enemy team before the enemy does the same thing to you?
EndWar, Sins of a Solar Empire, Myth, Dawn of War 2, Total War, etc.

My cat Oliver cornered it so I took it outside and murdered it. Do you think its family is sad now?

I can't really speak to your situation since my family doesn't have much in the way of mementos or keepsakes, but I personally don't find much meaning or sentimentality in the few I've already been given, so I may keep them to honor their memory but don't feel a responsibility to do so. Also, some of it's just worth keeping rather than selling, like my grandpa's 60's Bluejacket Manual.

I finished the series a week or so ago actually
It was some good shit, it seemed like there ought to have been another book about the
unless that's what the shadow ones are about.
the shadow books follow bean and are mainly centered around peters rise to power.
Oh
So they just leave that plotline unfinished?
No, the descolada is the mystery behind the Speaker for the Dead series, including Xenocide and Children of the Mind.
I know, I mean the
Spoiler Descoladores, as in the race/species/xenos that made the virus in the first place
Spoiler talk to them but it didn't go anywhere before the book ended
Oh, yeah. Shadows Alive is supposed to the Bean and Ender's story together, but who knows how that will work given Spoiler that both characters are dead at this point.
Yeah, unless that means
Spoiler Peter 2.0 by a bit of mental gymnastics
Peter and Val coming back was a bit out there for me, so I'm hoping that won't be used to just magically reunite Ender and Bean. Have you read Shadows in Flight? Apparently I read some weird abridged version of it, but I thought it was just garbage.

Whatever interest I may have had in the series dissipated when I discovered what kind of person Card is.
You've read none of his work but claim to know what kind of person he is? I can assure you that his views of homosexuality are not reflected in his novels.

Read the newest book, a prequel to the first book. I tend to go through the whole series every year, and it's that time. It's my favorite series, and Ender's Game in particular is fantastic. Anyway, if you haven't read it you're wrong. If you have read it, what did you think of it?

Why is Gary Johnson such a slimy creep.
Wouldn't really call this slimy or creepy, just hilariously tone-deaf. Yeah his actual performance in a debate probably wouldn't make much difference, but I don't know why he decided to emphasize that point with such a weird example.

Tbh I'm kind of getting burned out. Too many players with no sense of team composition or cooperation. Too many 12 year olds that play Hanzo or Widow on offense. Too many teams of 4 offense characters and no willingness to go healer or tank. It's a little better in competitive, but not by much.

I'm more so eager to see how Trumpets will react to him losing, without realizing he couldn't get out of his own way. Riots? /pol/ blowing up? We'll see.
Hopefully a mass suicide quiet reflection about the meaning of democracy and deep introspection about policies that are right for the whole country.

So fucking sick of stupid right wing conspiracy theories. I just want this election to be over.
Yeah, it's stuff like this here that ruin this whole thing. It's on both sides, but more prevalent from lefties. I hear stuff like this from my German class, too.
The lefties (and fuck that, even every other Republican) aren't saying this election is rigged, because it absolutely is not. One simple fact check could tell you that.
Trump's definition of "rigged" isn't necessarily voter fraud, it's a criticism of media bias and the DNC conspiring to make Hillary the candidate no matter what. There's some validity to it all, but it doesn't make Trump a viable candidate.

Hey neat some more generic sentient-AI sci-fi drama. What a creative direction 343i is going.

I don't normally like throwing around largely overused phrases like "racism", but it's astounding how such ostensibly progressive institutions don't see these quotas for what they are.

It's a fake site. There is no official site dictating current DEFCON levels.
i'm pretty sure the US is always at def 3
5 is the norm for most US territory.
3 would be very serious.
defcon isn't separated via territory
Yes it is.

Had my first real glitch today. As Mei on Illios, I used my ult and it spawned a hostile blizzard behind me instead of a friendly one in front.

There's no practical difference between being able to achieve relativistic speed and time dilation, so he's both.
He never approaches the speed of light though.
And even if he did, my point stands that manipulating time is a side effect of his power, not the power itself.
Time dilation occurs at any fraction of the speed of light. Relativistic speeds don't refer to c, specifically. It's functionally the same -- time "manipulation" in this sense is the same thing as being a speedster.

That said, there's some cinematic fuckery going on by giving him the apparent power to affect other objects, like by drinking or moving objects without tearing them apart, let alone not causing a massive explosion from the friction and pressure of moving through atmosphere so quickly; look at what happens to meteorites that enter the atmosphere: they explode and burn up. The same should happen to any speedster not protected by a speed-force plot device.

What I want to know is how well they handle charity after they get jobs.
Most millennials characterize welfare spending as if it is some kind of charitable act (it is not).
I'd love to know how my generation feels about real charity.
Historically, the older one gets, the more that person spends on charitable donations as a percentage of their total spending. So it's not just a trend with Millenials. https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2012/sep/25/charitable-giving-generation-gap-age
